OK, So An Eagle Didn’t Snatch A Toddler From A Park?

MONTREAL (December 20, 2012)--The creators of a video that appears to show an eagle swooping down and snatching a toddler from a Montreal park that went viral after it was posted on YouTube earlier this week now say it was a hoax.

The four people behind the video said Thursday that the video was produced as a part of a class project to create a viral video hoax at a new-media training institute in Montreal.

The video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube and written about in various newspaper and websites around the globe.
